Mystic, a Venture City power theme

Mystic

Your powers come from having your inner eye opened.

 

Basic Mystic: Your powers derive from a source science cannot explain.  Attempts to define what grants you your abilities fail.

 

Enhancements

 

Mystical Training: Choose from Will, Lore, Empathy, or Provoke.  You may add special effects to any use of this skill as if it were part of your power suite.

Reliquary: Your powers are rooted in the tools of your trade and your fellow willworkers know your items of power have chosen you.  You gain a +2 to Contacts when dealing with members of the mystic world.

Mystic Reputation: Even if people haven’t met you, your exploits are known and embedded in your aura.  Whenever you truck with the mystic world, you may use Rapport with a +2 bonus in place of Resources to negotiate favors.

 

Common Power Synergies

 

Clairvoyant: You are a seer.  You not only view what happens afar, you are able to see across dimensional barriers.

Phasing: You don’t just possess the ability to walk through walls, you project into the astral and transcend the physical world itself.  Your body may be anchored to the physical world, but you are not tied to the dictates of the flesh.

 

Drawbacks

 

  • There are things mortals were never meant to know. You’ve seen things that are better off lurking in the recesses of the subconscious, leaving you Deeply Haunted by Living Nightmares.
  • Having connections to the mystical world have split your time between mortal life and that of the esoteric. You have Trouble Communicating with Fellow Mortals given your insight into the deeper nature of the universe.

 

 

Collateral Damage Effects

 

Part the Veil: The world just outside of mortal sight can be as wondrous as it is frightening to behold.  You can offer a glimpse into the beyond to anyone up to one zone away.  Everyone within that zone must make a Will roll against a Fair (+2) obstacle or take a mild mental consequence as they see the minding horrors underpinning reality.
